$200.42M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$190.00M (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
INPEX confirms FID for the project and supports the project-level scale, but the press release excerpt available here does not state the dollar amount directly.

How this was derived
No project-specific battery O&M source was found, so the provided fallback default was used.

Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
No project-specific variable O&M source was found, so the provided fallback default was used.

Notes
Plant-specific project webpage states construction with an investment value of over $190 million and operational target in 2026. The project is a hybrid solar + BESS facility; however, the provided DUID capacity (27.6 MW / 40 MWh) does not match the public project page capacity (98 MW solar / 20 MW BESS) or the original NSW assessment report (80 MW solar / 20 MW / 20 MWh BESS). Capex is therefore treated as reported project-level investment, not a DUID-specific battery-only cost, and capex per MW is a rough allocation using the provided 27.6 MW capacity.
